Itachi Uchiha.
The brother that Sasuke Uchiha once knew.
"You'll never hold enough hate," were the words that the ninja left with his younger brother.
Standing 5'11'', with red Sharingan eyes, black hair held in a ponytail, the elder Uchiha resigns at the Akatsuki lair.


Itachi sat in a tree, playing a small ocarina he received from Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki. He let the sweet sound fill his ears, his mind, his soul. He hadn't felt this happy, since he had accomplished his mission, regarding killing his entire clan. Hearing a twig snap, the elder Uchiha stopped, and stood in the tree, hidden by the red and orange autumn leaves. "Who is it?" he called out, his voice raspy and harsh. A small bird flew off, as a rabbit pertruded from the bushes. Itachi breathed out a sigh of relief, and anguish. He was hoping to see his younger brother. He was hoping to kill his younger brother - Kill him like he should have years ago. But he didn't want to kill him then. He wanted the young boy to suffer, he wanted the images of their dead parents to haunt his memories.

Sasuke Uchiha
A boy driven by insane hate and blood lust for his own sibling
His very goal to kill that one man
Stands at 5"9 having deep onix eyes that both can turn red with the sharingan. He nears the akastsuki's hideout, seeking his brother for a fight


Sasuke creeped up closer and closer to the elder Uchiha. A large Kunui was in his hand, ready to pierce the heart of the heartless brother of his. He almost laughed as the stupid boy jumped at a little rabbit. Sasuke was skilled and wouldn't let himself step on twigs or make any noise for that matter. He jumped on Itachi from behind, just barley grazing his neck with the blade, then holding it there. "Any last words...Itachi..." he spat the name out like it was a bitter poison. Sasuke knew Itachi was strong and he'd better kill him quickly before the man could sling him off, but he wanted to hear the bastard beg for his life before his cruel end.

Itachi grinned as his brother attacked him. When he heard him speak, his grin only widened. "Oh, dear brother..." he whispered. "I could either use Amaterasu, and burn you to ashes...But I think I'll..." The elder activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, and looked his younger sibling in the eyes. Immediately, they were sent to a different world...No...Different dimention. The sky was red, with black clouds. Everything looked different. Sasuke was tied to a chair, with chains. Something he couldn't break. "Welcome to Tsukuyomi, dear brother. Seventy two hours...Of complete terror." Itachi's grin spread, ear to ear, as he plunged a sword into the ravenette's stomach, watching crimson blood spill.

Sasuke regretted his stalling. He should have killed Itachi when he had the chance, but now here he was bleeding like a stuck pig. He struggled to get out of the chains. "Let me go.." he hissed, pain seeping into his brain. He felt fuzzy and sick. He was afraid he might throw up.

Itachi dug the sword deeper into the boy's stomach. "Why would I do that? When we have all this time? Would you like to play a game of cat and mouse?" Itachi removed the sword, and rested the blood stained piece of metal against the boy's cheek. "Would you like that?" Itachi grinned, before returning the sword to it's sheath, and taking out his ocarina. "I'll let you think."

Sasuke hissed as more pain went through him. The removing of the sword hurt as bad as when it had been thrust in. He felt hot tears running down his face, not having free hands to wipe them away. This was humiliating. He had come to kill his brother, not be killed. Itachi had said he was letting him think. He knew if he begged for his life, he'd be too ashamed to live. He would have to take the pain like a man.

Itachi dropped the ocarina, letting it smash, knowing it would be just fine as soon as he deactivated his Sharingan. Leaning forward, the man smirked at the tears streaming down his brother's cheeks. "Oh. Sasuke...How cute," he muttered, his smirk widening as he wiped away the salty tears. Somewhere, in the depths of the black-hole-of-a-heart he had. Itachi felt a twinge of sadness, but he pushed that aside.

The humiliation of Itachi mocking him mixed with the fact that this was the brother he once knew and loved forced the tears to quicken and now they flowed steadily."you're a real freak you know that?" He growled and yelped just slightly as the pain in his stomach throbbed. His brother was heartless. No, this wasn't his brother. This was another Itachi. One he didn't know. This was a brutal man that lived only to hut others.

The grin quickly disappeared, and Itachi stood, turning away from his brother. "I know this. But so are you. Leaving the village for your own selfish needs?! Who knows...Maybe your dear friend Naruto is dead. Maybe I'll kill him..." Itachi smirked, looking down at his brother, for a moment. "Or, maybe I'll kill everyone in there...Naruto, Sakura...Kakashi." The elder ravenette turned away from Sasuke, seemingly pondering the thought.

Sasuke laughed, but had to stop as this hurt. "You could never kill them. They would laugh and spit on your dead corpse." Sasuke knew that his brother could never succeed in killing his teammates. Or could he? Could he?! Sasuke tried to hide the insane panic that was gripping him. "Besides..I don't care about them anyway." the way he said it almost made even him belive that he thought nothing for them.

Itachi grinned, obviously seeing through his younger brother's act. "Now, now, Sasuke-kun. It's not nice to lie," he slid the sword out, and plunged it into the younger ravenette's shoulder, smiling wickedly as blood poured out. Crimson blood. The colour he loved so dearly. It was a beautiful colour, too.

Sasuke screamed. That one had hurt to bad to keep his mouth shut. "This is what you live for isn't it. Losing the few people who cared about you and then killing them. You're a pitiful monster." he had loved Itachi before he'd killed everyone. They'd been close. They would play ball and run in the meadow. They swam together. They had had fun. Now they were enemy's and Itachi was going to kill him. "You know, mom and dad loved you. Even more than they did me. Yet you slaughtered them just so you could say you single handedly killed a who clan. To bad I still live. I guess even that's about to change. I'll be dead too. Then you can kill yourself. You forget who's blood runs through your veins." he smirked. "If you want to kill the whole race. Kill yourself good brother." he laughed an insane laugh as the blood loss made him crazed.

Itachi grimaced at his brother's words. He slowly sheathed his sword again, turning away from his brother. "I know the Uchiha blood runs through my veins...But guess what?" he asked, turning back to his brother, the grin faded from his face. He slowed, remembering all the fun times he had with the youngest living Uchiha, all the adventures they had, all the times they trained. "You may not believe this...But I regret what I did. I regret leaving you alive, even though more of my brain is glad I let you suffer," he sighed and slowly removed his Konoha headband, and his Akatsuki jacket. "I have tried, you know. Killing myself. Did you know this?"

Sasuke stared at Itachi. He hadn't expected that at all. Itachi had really tried to kill himself? He was very tempted to give some kind words to his brother, bit decoded to be cruel instead. "Well, you may have tried but you certainly didn't succeed! You're a failure, a loser, a complete fool. You can't even end your own life. You lost your family by your own hand and then, just as torture, you left alive your younger brother who practically worshiped the ground you walked on. I've suffered all these years. I cam still see it in my head..the blood...I cam hear the screams and mom telling me to run while I could. I was just a child..." Sasuke remembered how hos mom had protected him until the moment she died. He'd seen how heart broken she was that her baby, her Itachi, was going to be her murderer. He hung his head so he didn't have to look at Itachi.

Itachi grit his teeth at the words uttered from his brother's mouth. He wanted to kill him - slit his throat. He wanted to strangle him until the younger one cried with regret. Instead, the long-haired man sighed and rolled his eyes. "If I hadn't of done it...You'd still be crying to mother, everytime you scraped a knee. You'd still be crawling into my bed at night, because you had a nightmare. You'd still be a pathetic wimp!" he cried, balling his hands into fists. "You'd still be weak, pathetic." Itachi let a smirk slide onto his face, before moving a strand of hair out of his face.

Sasuke spit on his brother. "Well I'd rather be weak and pathetic than have to spend my childhood wishing I had a family! That wasn't enough for you' you thought you had to be the god damn strongest person alive! I'm sick of you. Think of someone besides yourself! I know that's hard for a peice of trash like you, but try. You're not the only person on the planet. Yes, I would cry if I scraped my knee, yes, I would crawl up beside my older brother when nightmares came. And YES I would be a wimp. but I'd be a happy wimp." Sasuke really wanted to be no more than a happy wimp. He wanted to be a child and be taken care of and loved. He wanted to have bed stories read to him and be tucked in at night. He wanted a mom to fix him dinner and a dad to take him fishing. He wanted an older brother to play cops and robbers with. He just wanted the childhood that had passed him by. He was to old now. Mentally and physically. He was older, more developed.. He was hard on the inside.

Itachi was astonished, but he continued with his sly smirk. "Ah, my cute little brother...You have grown, haven't you?" Itachi asked, before releasing Tsukuyomi. Before Sasuke reacted, he released one punch to the younger boy's face, watching him fall from the branch, to the ground. Itachi jumped down, landing softly next to Sasuke. "Until next time, my dear brother..." he whispered, before dashing away at the speed of light. He knew his brother could follow his foot prints - But what was the point? Why follow Itachi to a place where all the rogue ninjas, the most dangerous in the land, hide out?
When Itachi got back, he removed his trenchcoat, revealing just a tight black shirt, and a pair of black pants. "Kisame," he growled, watching the fish slurp down other fish. Wouldn't that be called...Cannibalism, to fish? "Where's Konan?" he asked, needing to tell the blue-haired woman what happened.

Sasuke felt the harsh blow to his face and then watched his brother run away. "YOU DAMN CHICKEN!!!!RUN! RUN AND DON'T YOU EVER COME BACK!!!" Sasuke wanted revenge, but knew better than to follow his brother to a lair of crazy rouge ninjas that would eat him for lunch. They were to strong and he was far to weak. He went home and washed up, then had dinner in solitude. He was in far to bad of a mood to have ramen with Naruto tonight. He wanted his vengeance more than anything. He hadn't seen his brother since child hood until now and he'd been supized at how handsome he'd become. He shook his head. What was he thinking? This was his enemy. Not to mention he'd just tortured him.

After a long talk with Konan, Itachi spent the whole night perfecting the Transformation Jutsu. He was going to get his brother, and he was going to get his brother good.
At five in the morning, Itachi set out, for Konoha. When he got halfway there, he used the Transformation Jutsu, turning himself into a small, thin girl, with long black hair, and blue eyes. Now having the appearance of a female, looking to enter the Chu-nins, the guards let him in. Looking around, Itachi - Who now went by the name 'Mira' - Decided to try the ramen. Walking there, he noticed people looking his way, admiring his feminine features. When he got some ramen, he slurped it slowly, smiling happily. It was really delicious. He had no idea home-cooked ramen could come better than Konan's?
"Idiot..." a male's voice came from behind him. Turning around, Itachi saw a tall boy with blue hair. "Saying this ramen is better than mine..." Itachi stopped dead, not realizing those words really came from his own mouth. He hadn't realized it at all. The male Konan - Now going by the name 'Kazuki' - held back the urge to hit a girl. She was going to save that for later.

Sasuke was forcefully dragged to the small ramen bar in the village by Naruto. "Why are you in such a pissy mood anyway?" Naruto asked with a frown. Sasuke shrugged. As usual, Sakura was trying to get with him. Normal he would have easily ignored her, but with the recent events he was in a really bad mood. "SAKURA!!! I- AM- GAY!!!!" He barked at her, gaining the attention of everyone there. Sakura's jaw hit the ground. "Y-you're...what now?" She looked like she didn't want to belive what he was saying. "I'm gay you idiot girl! I don't like you!" Naruto laughed his head off. "Good one Sasuke.." he chuckled and the raven haired boy growled. "You think i'm joking Ukimazi? I promise you I'm damn serious!" He stared at a few people he'd never seen. The girl was painfully familiar, but he wasn't sure where he'd seen her before. "Excuse me..." he said tapping her on shoulder. "Have I met you somewhere before?"

Turning around, Itachi wasn't expecting to see his younger brother so soon. Forgetting he wasn't his...Normal self, he let the ramen hang out of his mouth, until Konan nudged him. He slurped up the ramen, and eyed his now-taller brother. In his sweet, soft, feminine voice, he simply replied, "I don't know...Have you?" he grinned, taking advantage of being a sly younger woman. Konan stood up, and walked out, groaning desperately. "My name is Mira, and my friend with the blue hair is Kazuki," he knew it would be quite possible for Sasuke to see through it, but he really had no proof. Itachi just sat there, legs crossed like a lady should have. He grinned up at Sasuke, before standing up slowly, following Konan outside. "Hook, line, just waiting for the sinker."
"Hurry up. That pink girl is starting to give me weird looks..." Konan shuddered, thinking about having to have a romantic relationship with another female, all so Itachi could get a confession out of his younger brother. Itachi flipped his hair, like he had seen one blonde do, and grimaced. He made such an awkward female.

Sasuke started being highly suspicious, but decided it was mere paranoia. There was no way his brother had turned into a girl and then slipped into Kohana. He figured he was just so upset fom earlier that he was starting to think everyone was connected to his brother. His grouchy mood worsened. "I'm going home.." he said in a way that suggested the other two not try and stop him from going. It was clear he was upset.

Sasuke grabbed a notebook and decided to draw. He laid out on his bed and drew the first thing that came to mind. It was him and Itachi. They sat on a swing smiling happily. It was the way he wished things were. Him and his brother happy. He added a couple of older looking versions of their parents the way he thought they'd look now. He threw the notebook across the room and then cried himself to sleep

Being the sneak Itachi was, he sat on the roof, outside Sasuke's window. Hearing the soft snore of his younger brother, he snuck in, no longer looking like a girl. Picking up the notebook, he looked at the drawing. Overwhelming sadness engulfed the older Uchiha. Flipping to a new page, Itachi picked up a pen, and wrote simply "Daisuke, Otōto...[I love you, younger brother.]" He set the notebook down by Sasuke's head, and leaned down to kiss his forehead, lovingly. Obviously, the words the young male spat out earlier were not true. Sighing softly, Itachi stroked his younger brother's cheek, before disappearing out into the Uchiha part of Konoha. It was late, Itachi decided not to transform. He didn't want to be someone else in his own home. Finding his way around, he finally came to a hault at his precious home. It looked like someone had taken care of the place - Probably Sasuke. A small smile lit his face, as he walked in. Even though no one lived there, he took his shoes off, before walking around.

When Sasuke finally woke up, he saw the notebook he'd throw across the room was lying right beside him. He read the message written and refused to belive his brother had really written that. He decided that Naruto was the only one who would do something that stupid. He got up and started to undress. He'd slept in the same clothes he'd worn the day before. he grabbed a towel and got into the shower. The hot water felt nice and he let it run for a good while before climbing out and getting dressed. He went to clean the Uchiha residence as he did everyday. He noticed things were out of place. Someone else was here and they hadn't seemed to care to cover their tracks. Sasuke grabbed a Kunui and held it in front
Of himself caousiously. "Whoever you are come out here and show yourself. Part of him hoped it was Itachi and the writing I'm his notebook was true.

Itachi held his breath, realizing he was going to show himself to his brother, the same way he had left him. Itachi was wearing his black shirt, black pants, his hair in a ponitail, and his headband in place. Part of himself felt like he was really at home...Minus the fact his parents and the rest of his clan were gone. Peeking out, he noticed Sasuke was facing away from him. Slowly, very slowly, Itachi stepped out and grabbed his brother's wrist, the one holding the kunai, and placed his other hand on the younger Uchiha's mouth. "So, you found me," Itachi whispered, having to lean down to make sure Sasuke heard him better. Slowly, Itachi removed the kunai from his younger brother's hand, before tugging him closer, tighter. "Did you find the note, Otōto?"
